Following her regrettable tweet directed towards the Indian military, Bollywood actress Richa Chadha has been caught in the center of the controversy.
After Richa Chadha responded to Lt. Gen. Dwivedi’s assertion that the Indian Army was prepared to take whatever steps were necessary to retake Pakistan-occupied Kashmir, she went on to become one of the most criticized Bollywood celebrities in recent days.

Not only commoners and politicians criticized the actress over her remark for humiliating the Indian army, but also many credible people from her own fraternity used the occasion to criticize Chadha for her “shameful” tweet on the Indian army.
Celebrities including Anupam Kher, Vivek Agnihotri, Kay Kay Menon, and Ranvir Shorey have taken to social media to express their disapproval of Richa Chadha’s since-deleted remark on the 2020 Galwan Valley conflict. Actor Paresh Rawal and director Vivek Agnihotri have also joined the list of those who are criticizing Richa Chadha on social media while displaying their appreciation for the Indian Army.
However, the actor that criticized Chadha first is still in the news for his remarks. The actor is none other than Akshay Kumar, aka “Khiladi of Bollywood.”
Akshay Kumar’s tweet on the whole fiasco has become the talk of the town because his tweet not only received widespread praise but also received vicious trolling. While many people trolled him for having Canadian citizenship, others are slamming him for directing the troll army toward Chadha.

Veteran actor Prakash Raj also slammed Akshay Kumar for his tweet
On Twitter, he quoted Akshay’s tweet and wrote,
“Didn’t expect this from you @akshaykumar..having said that @RichaChadha is more relevant to our country than you sir. #justasking”

Although it is unclear to what Prakash Raj is referring, the actor appears to be referring to Akshay Kumar’s hotly contested Canadian citizenship in his latest comment. As I mentioned above, the seasoned actor is not the only one who appears to share this opinion.
Following Akshay Kumar’s response to Richa Chadha’s tweet, the phrase “Canadian Kumar” began to trend in some parts of the internet.
After tweeting this, Prakash Raj again supported it by writing on Twitter the following:

“Yes we stand with you @RichaChadha… we understand what you meant.”

However, Prakash Raj’s message also didn’t receive a very favorable response from netizens, and he was also brutally criticized for his comments on Twitter. His name has also been trending on the platform. If we look at his name’s hashtag, it is full of hatred for him. Many people trolled him for backing Richa Chadha’s controversial remarks.
Not only Prakash Raj but also Bollywood actress Swara Bhaskar also backed Richa Chadha’s comments. Right now, she is also suffering from the wrath of angry netizens.
Meanwhile, Richa Chadha has already apologized for her tweet yesterday and deleted it. But still, we cannot say that how much will this matter be pulled.
